About Vancouver’s Cash For Cars
Vancouver’s Cash For Cars began with a simple promise: make it effortless for Lower Mainland drivers to turn unwanted vehicles into cash while protecting the coast we call home. From our very first tow truck to the fleet that now covers every neighbourhood from Horseshoe Bay to Hope, we’ve kept that promise by blending lightning-fast service, industry-leading payouts, and gold-standard environmental practices.

Our Story
The company was founded by two lifelong Vancouverites who grew up tinkering with engines under rainy carports. After realizing that most “scrap” buyers left customers wrestling with paperwork and wondering where their cars would end up, they sketched out a new model: free same-day towing, cash on the hood before the wheels leave the driveway, and a transparent recycling chain that meets—or exceeds—B.C.’s toughest environmental rules. Today, thousands of cars, trucks, vans, and motorcycles later, the core team still answers the phone, arranges every pickup, and signs each cheque themselves, keeping service personal in a city that values community.
What Sets Us Apart
Rapid, reliable service – Most vehicles are collected within two hours of your call, rain or shine, thanks to locally based trucks and licensed drivers.
Best-in-market payouts – Because we monitor real-time metal and parts prices, we pay top dollar—from quick-cash junkers to six-figure collectibles—while completing the sale in a single visit.
Eco-first philosophy – Every vehicle is depolluted by certified technicians, reusable parts are catalogued for second-life repairs, and remaining metals are recycled, saving significant energy and emissions.
Commitment to Sustainability
British Columbia’s End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation guides our process, but we go further. Fluids, batteries, and airbags are removed and recycled safely. Hybrid and EV components are routed to specialized facilities to keep toxins out of landfills. We partner with local recyclers exploring circular-economy projects—from repurposing EV batteries for grid storage to piloting regional metal-recovery programs. Each year, our operation diverts thousands of litres of hazardous fluids and hundreds of tonnes of scrap metal from waste streams while creating skilled green-sector jobs.
People Behind the Process
Our dispatchers know every bridge height, lane restriction, and strata gate code in Metro Vancouver, ensuring pickups run smoothly without surprises. Licensed mechanics inspect incoming vehicles so usable engines, transmissions, and catalytic converters can power other cars, keeping repair costs down for local drivers and reducing the need for newly manufactured parts. Continuous training keeps our crew current with hybrid-safety protocols, air-bag removal techniques, and the latest environmental regulations.
Serving the Community
From sponsoring shoreline clean-ups to donating refurbished minivans to vocational programs, Vancouver’s Cash For Cars reinvests a portion of every sale into initiatives that make the city more livable. Our founders also volunteer with recycling-education campaigns, teaching high-school students how responsible auto disposal fits into a circular economy.
Looking Ahead
As electric and autonomous vehicles reshape mobility, we’re already preparing advanced dismantling bays and battery-recycling partnerships to keep pace with tomorrow’s technology. Whether Vancouverites drive gas, hybrid, or EV, they’ll always have a fast, trustworthy way to turn end-of-life vehicles into instant value—and to do it in a way that keeps the North Shore mountains blue and Burrard Inlet sparkling.
